Candoc KP Series Industrial Lacquer

SPECIFICATIONS:

USES: Metal: Test coated metal prior to production. Use up to 5% KP-2001 Metal Etch Thinner to improve adhesion.
Plastics: Especially acrylics (Plexiglas, Lucite), vinyl sheets, Scotchlite, top coated polyester, polycarbonates, styrene. Top coatings affect adhesion. Avoid polyethylene's.
Glass: Recommended for first or second-surface printing (depending on application); can be used for second-surface graphics on glass prior to the mirroring/silvering process.
Other Substrates: coated paper, foam boards, wood, leather, and Scotchlite.

FINISH: Cures to a gloss finish.

COVERAGE: About 1200 sq. ft. per gallon.

OPACITY: Good on most colors.

DRYING TIME: Force dries in 30-60 seconds with high efficiency dryers (3000-5000 CFM fresh air equipped with air knives). Air dries in 15-45 minutes depending on temperature and air circulation. Adding retarder will slow dry times.

SCREEN FABRIC: For best results use 140 to 305+ polyester monofilament.

SCREEN COATING, FILM, BLOCKOUT: Direct and indirect photostencils, or water soluble, knife-cut stencils are suitable.

MODIFIERS: Reduce with KP-2000 Lacquer Thinner. Retard with KP-2020. Flow Promoter: opaque KP Lacquer colors do not normally require a flow additive. Mixing colors and clears may require small amounts of KP-2018C Concentrate. Use no more than 2 oz. per gallon. Over use of this highly concentrated additive will adversely affect performance.

ADHESION: Excellent for recommended substrates.

WASHUP: KP-2010, SYS-1925 or biodegradable washes 2500 or 2510 screen wash gel.
